Mundine slams Horn over skin colour

Former world champion Anthony Mundine has slammed fellow Australian boxer Jeff Horn, saying the Queenslander only gets attention because of his skin colour.

Speaking to News Corp Australia Mundine, who was hoping to fight Horn this year before the 29-year-old elected to head to the United States for his next bout, described him as the 'flavour of the month'.

"He's only the flavour of the month because he is a white boy, just like Danny Green was the white boy," Mundine, who also called for Australia Day to be moved from January 26, told The Daily Telegraph.
